I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

The news that Ma Hu died came from the industrial park outside the city, but the place where Ma Hu died was not in the industrial park.

The body was discovered by a farmer in a depression near the industrial park.

The farmer immediately reported it to the security team of the industrial park, because the industrial park belonged to Prince Ji, and to them, it was similar to the government.

And more trouble is worse than less trouble. The farmer only notified the security brigade of the industrial park. After the security brigade arrived at the scene, they sent someone to Chang'an City to report the incident to the police.

The government arrived very quickly, and the county magistrate personally brought the criminals and gangsters with him. When they arrived at the scene, they found a burnt corpse.

Why do you say it's sloppy? Because many businessmen watching the excitement recognized a corner of clothes that had not been burned.

The color of the clothes careless was wearing when he left the Qinding Chamber of Commerce yesterday was very similar.

The county magistrate sent people to the industrial park to look for Ma Hu, and found that no one lived in Ma Hu's residence. According to the clerk's recollection, Ma Hu never came back after leaving yesterday.

But during this period, several groups of people came to look for Mahu, which meant that Mahu was missing.

Combined with the corpse, the county magistrate initially determined that the corpse was Ma Hu himself.

This news is neither big nor small. For most people who know the experience of Sloppy, it is a pity.

But for some people, Sloppy's death may bring huge losses.

~~~~~~

"Is Sloppy dead?"

In the Zen room of Prince Wei's Mansion, smoke filled the air. Li Tai, dressed in plain clothes, sat cross-legged and chanted a string of beads in his hand.

After hearing Du Chuke's report, he opened his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the body has been brought back to the Yamen. It was identified by some businessmen who had contact with Ma Hu.

This charred corpse was similar to Ma Hu in terms of height and shape, and the unburned clothes were the same color as the clothes Ma Hu wore yesterday.

They also found a hosta on the body, which was confirmed to have been bought by Ma Hu in Dongshi a few days ago and planned to be given to his aunt.

Therefore, the government has determined that this person is careless. "

After hearing Du Chuke's report, Li Tai frowned.

"Did you tell me when Ma Hu died and why he appeared there? I remember that although the industrial park does not have a curfew, it will be closed at night to avoid theft."

Du Chuke immediately explained:

"Back to your lord, according to the waiter at Laifu Restaurant, Ma Hu did not return to the restaurant yesterday. I went to the government to inquire.

Yesterday, after careless left the Qidian Chamber of Commerce, he had been wandering around Chang'an City. He also went to Pingankang and did not leave the city until the city gate was about to close.

In my opinion, Ma Hu was probably killed on his way back to the industrial park after leaving the city. "

Li Tai knew roughly what happened, but he still had some doubts. I couldn’t help but ask:

"Do you think this corpse is careless?"

"Does the prince think that Careless is cheating his death?" Du Chuke was stunned.

"I have always felt that behind this sloppiness must be that bad boy Lao Shi.

With Lao Shi's character, he would not kill his own people for no reason, so I guess this corpse was probably not careless. "

When Du Chuke heard about the connection with Li Shen, King of Ji, he thought about it and said:

"Your Majesty, if Prince Ji hadn't done it, Mahu revealed a big secret yesterday, which is the origin of his batch of spices, the Spice Island.

This spice island can be regarded as a mountain of gold and silver, inexhaustible. Who can resist such temptation, let alone a noble family.

Ma Hu said that he revealed this news to Wang Weiqi. Judging from Wang Weiqi's performance at the time, the credibility was extremely high.

The Wang family most likely planned to monopolize the Spice Island, so it was very likely that they would kill Ma Hu and then destroy the body and eliminate all traces.

Or there is another possibility. Someone wanted to get the location of Spice Island, so he followed Ma Hu out of the city, took Ma Hu to the low-lying area, tortured him, forced him to give a confession, and finally destroyed his body and destroyed all traces of it.

I learned from the officials in the government that many bones on the corpse were broken, including the hands and feet, and there were traces of injuries from sharp weapons.

Thinking that he had suffered great pain during his lifetime, he must have been tortured to death. "

What Du Chuke said made sense and was not impossible. Li Tai turned the bead string twice, closed his eyes and meditated, and then smiled and said:

"Haha, this careless person died well! The time of death is really accurate, no matter whether this careless death is real or fake,

Merchants will all associate the death of Ma Hu with the Qingding Chamber of Commerce, regardless of whether it was for the 800,000 yuan in compensation.

Whether it's because of the spice island that Ma Hu mentioned, everyone will feel that it is inseparable from the Qending Chamber of Commerce.

Ma Hu made a big fuss at the Qidian Chamber of Commerce during the day yesterday, and was killed at night. The reputation of the Qidian Chamber of Commerce will be greatly damaged.

In addition to those who aspire to the Chamber of Commerce, Lao Shi is also suspected.

If I were Lao Shi, even if he was not one of my people, I would send someone to kill Ma Hu, and then frame the blame on the Qending Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, I firmly believe that this must be Lao Shi's plan, and he will take action soon. "

After speaking, Li Tai slowly closed his eyes, turned the beads in his hand, and spoke plausibly.

Du Chuke bowed to Li Tai and slowly withdrew.

Early the next morning, Datang Daily published a story called "The Soul in the Abyss"

The protagonist of the story is named Erhu. The first sentence at the beginning of the story is, who am I?

Then there is the description of the discovery of a body burned beyond recognition somewhere outside the capital.

The county magistrate and officials from the government rushed over and conducted a series of interviews and investigations, and finally determined that this person was a maritime businessman from Haibian County.

This story uses a flashback writing technique, and the plot is coherent and fascinating.

It tells the story of how the protagonist came to the capital, how he sold goods, and was finally oppressed by the powerful. Not only the goods were lost, but also his life was lost.

The most exciting part is the miserable scene in which he is not afraid of power, fights against it, and ends up being left with nothing to do, which is vividly and vividly depicted, as if he was actually there.

Especially the protagonist's innocent heart that is not afraid of power at the beginning, and the unwillingness and helpless psychological change at the end are even more empathetic.

The protagonist Er Hu left the scene sadly, and everyone seemed to see that sad figure, which made people feel sad.

And in the end, the two tigers were found dead tragically in the wilderness. Not only were they burned beyond recognition, but after examination, they found that the limbs of the body were broken and there were scars all over the body.

Everyone couldn't help but shed tears for the protagonist's tragic experience, and showed great sympathy for the protagonist Er Hu's experience.

In the back garden of Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Madam, madam, you cannot cry. You are pregnant and cannot be sad."

At this time, Li Shen was busy comforting his princess, Lu Dingniang.

Just because Li Shen and his family were enjoying the shade in the garden just now, a few newspapers happened to be delivered to them.

Prince Ji’s Mansion also reads newspapers, which contain major events and minor affairs happening across the country.

After Lu Dingniang read the story of the soul in the abyss, she was affected by the protagonist's tragic experience and couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.
